Network File Storage

Netfiles: personal storage (\\netfiles.willamette.edu)

Students, faculty and staff have access to personal storage space on Willamette's network file server. This space is automatically created when your network account is made. The NetFiles storage space can be used to store and back up data for classes, projects and academic research. The file servers themselves are backed up regularly and data can be recovered in cases of local hard drive failures or accidental file corruption or deletion. All members of the community are strongly encouraged to save any files that cannot afford to be lost to their NetFiles storage space.

The file server may be accessed from any computer that has network connectivity. It is similar to DropBox or other on-line storage services - and it's completely free.

Space: 10gb of storage are allotted to each personal share.

Connecting On-Campus: Map your NetFiles storage space as a network drive to access it easily from your computer on campus

Connecting from Off Campus: You MUST connect via a file transfer client application and use Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to access your NetFiles storage space from off campus. You can also use an SFTP client to connect to NetFiles from campus.

Groupfiles: department shares (\\groupfiles.willamette.edu\dept)

Every campus department (administrative & academic) has a shared department drive. This is a space to store and collaborate with co-workers and other people across campus. Many departments heavily use this storage system for all of their mission-critical work files.

Space: 10gb of space are allotted to each department share.

Instructions for checking available space on your department share -TBA

Connecting Off-Campus: None of the Groupfiles Shares are available off campus
